What can you tell me to make it feel better?

How about a thread for uplifting quotes/thoughts on a post Trump-victory world?

Let's ask Garrison Keiler for his thoughts.

Garrison Keiler Wrote:Resentment is no excuse for bald-faced stupidity. America is still the land where the waitress' kids can grow up to become physicists and novelists and pediatricians, but it helps a lot if the waitress and her husband encourage good habits and the ambition to use your God-given talents and the kids aren't plugged into electronics day and night. Whooping it up for the candidate of cruelty and ignorance does less than nothing for your kids.
We liberal elitists are now completely in the clear. The government is in Republican hands. Let them deal with him. Democrats can spend four years raising heirloom tomatoes, meditating, reading Jane Austen, traveling around the country, tasting artisan beers, and let the Republicans build the wall and carry on the trade war with China and deport the undocumented and deal with opioids and we Democrats can go for a long brisk walk and smell the roses.

I quite enjoyed it.  And I agree, it's none of our affair now.  Don't worry I'll still vote -everytime, not just in the big ones- and I'll vote liberal elite party line.  But if we remain out of power, I think I can make the brisk walk and rose sniffing work.

I wouldn't be so sure about that just yet.

Garrison Keiler is a great and wise man.
Now is the time to accept what must be accepted, change what can be changed, and remember to love life.

Just no WW3 because Trump's an idiot, please, and no huge increases in homelessness because Trump doesn't care about poor people, please.
